Urban Acupuncture in Westerville

I go to Integra Acupuncture in Gahanna! I love Dr. Yang--she's the best! https://www.facebook.com/integra.acupuncture/?fref=ts

By far, Integra Acupuncture & Wellness. Melissa Yang is the very best!

aiam.edu in Columbus has a school for massage and acupuncture, so you could probably get a cut rate deal from an acupuncture student.

See this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/Columbus/comments/5 j8 b5 c/best_psychologistcounselor/ You can then find out if they work with children, or who they would recommend. You can also search this site by the age of the clients that the therapist works with: https://therapists.psychologytoday.com You could also contact http://www.nationwidechildrens.org/psychology to get their recommendations.

I'm not sure how many of the therapists work with children, but I and some of my friends have had great experiences with Affirmations. I know their website emphasizes mental illness and abuse/trauma services.

Don't have a solution but good luck. Hard times.

While it is not cheeks per say. It just may take a long time to get specific counseling. The counseling itself is good.

I called CCS and asked for specific recommendations for a therapist, they did a brief screening (basically asked about my mental health/history) and about my insurance and preferences (male vs female therapist), and gave me a great list of different providers in the area. I currently go to Bluestone Counseling and have only great things to say.

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/psychiatrists/oh/columbus This helped me find a physiatrist that takes my insurance you can filter the results for what you’re specifically looking for

A lot of students get referred out to Holistic Consultation for long-term care, which is up on High St. and is so close it is almost on-campus. I've only heard good things. [https://holisticconsultationllc.com/](https://holisticconsultationllc.com/)

Also try checking out OSU wellness coaching!

Karen Waugh on high street is bussable and a great therapist. I and 2 of my friends go to her.

Look through your insurances website

If you're alright with a 45 min bus ride, Open Arms in Germen Village isn't bad. The 8 will take you there. You can schedule online.

www.ccs.osu.edu/cpd You can search by insurance, distance from campus, what you want to talk about, etc.

Nicole Karras with The Center on High is amazing!!!!

Jake Jurbank might be a good choice.

Ryan Johnson: Relaxing Now Massage in Grandview

Ryan Johnson is great. I bought a Groupon and used her and was really surprised how good she is. Also Britney from Papillon Day Spa on Polaris Parkway is wonderful.

[OSU Harding Hospital](http://medicalcenter.osu.edu/patientcare/healthcare_services/mental_health/harding/Pages/index.aspx) Not sure what health plans they accept so you'll need to call in advance.

I got to [Comprehensive Services](http://www.comprehensive-services.us/) on Bethel. They take Anthem. I'm not on meds, but I do know they have staff that can prescribe.

You may want to try Tobias Funke's office. He's an Analrapist.

To find a therapist who gets Trans issues (most don't, and are unhelpful at best and actively harmful at worst), see http://t-vox.org/medical and http://therapists.psychologytoday.com/ . For the second link, enter your location and then select Transgender from the Issues list on the left.

I just moved from Columbus to a city with a lot more trans resources. However, when I was there, I did find two therapists. I'll PM you their details, but you may not like either one... one has a lot of negative reviews, and the other one (the one I contacted) was very expensive, and was requiring me to come to my first session presenting as female. I wasn't quite ready for that, but she insisted, and I ended up canceling. What you should probably do is contact Stonewall Columbus... the LGBT center in the Short North. http://www.stonewallcolumbus.org/

BTW, the therapist can't prescribe hormones. All they can do is give you a letter saying you have gender identity issues, and are clear to start HRT. A medical doctor, likely an endocrinologist, is the one who gives you the prescription after you have the letter. Being clear with the therapist upfront that you want a letter is important. Make sure to discuss timelines. If someone says they need to see you for more than 3 months before giving you a letter, that's crap.

Dr. Shelley Blackburn on Sawmill Rd was a name that was given to me as an I.C. provider for trangender needs I Apologize though, as I am on my phone and copy and paste I'd quite hard to do for some reason or I would also give address and phone.

PM me - I've got a list of trans resources for this city.

Taryn Yarnell-Stillwell is the best in the industry when it comes to massage therapy. She has magic hands!

I offer hands on massage therapy and the Equi-Release pro:) having Feb. Specials going on now! Kays Equine Sports Massage Therapy

Wellspring Counseling has helped me a lot. Please contact them when you have a chance. Sending you prayers and hugs

Sheila Livingston. Lori Moomaw. I will inbox you their digits...They have helped me for yrs. and yrs!

Thanks Kristen! I am an art therapist. About 30% of my caseload are children working through grief. My practice is called Painted Path Art Therapy, LLC. I will try to PM you.

and I agree Donna Kiser-Maynard except your sister or my mother Gayle Ward shes the ring leader.

well I think I am a better fit for Dr.Oz:

Interesting film for Family Therapy class.

Dr Thomas in keyser! He's excellent! As for a therapist...maybe try mountain state in keyser, too?

That's so sad. My son had therapy at Allied OT years ago. They were so good.

Check out Columbus Area. Ask if Dr. THAKURIA has any openings... I know they take all insurance and work on a sliding scale
